Another remarkable collection of mid – late 19th Century boundary/garden walls constructed of various lower grades of local yellow and red brick, interspersed on the East side by a variety of gate openings and some gate piers. On the West side the walls are laid in varied and mixed informal bonds including random, garden wall, header, vertical header and stretcher bonds. On the East side the bricks are of slightly higher quality and the bonds are more regular. Much of the significance of these walls lies in their townscape value but they also betray the development pattern of this area of Faversham as it was turned by piecemeal development from orchard to housing between 1860 and 1900. Further, they show how the otherwise unmarketable, low-grade materials from the local brickmaking industry was used to good effect by Faversham.
